Please help ID this Chevy aluminum Bellhousing... I was told it goes to T5. It's super light and smooth, I can find no numbers, stamps or marks. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
It's crooked. Why would you want your SBC to sit at an angle like that? Would make setting the floats really hard.
I have a BOP bell housing that bolts to my 455 Olds. Behind that bell housing, I have a small aluminum adaptor that bolts to the optional Ford pattern on the bellhousing, and adapts to my '37 LaSalle trans, with its right-hand offset shift tower. (two optional patterns on these bell housings, as they were used in Jeeps! Also, a starter well on the left as well as the right!) So...my small LaSalle adaptor was 'offset', (like the Camaro above) and rolled my LaSalle over to the left, putting the shift tower right in the center...completely defeating the purpose of getting the stick over to the passenger side of my '27 T. (and out of the way of my #13 shoes!) Dang! I had to 'clock' the trans footprint between 7 and 9 degrees to the right, but then had to weld an aluminum bung on for the lower right hand tranny bolt. Just as I had it all bolted up, I got news my friend had passed away. His sister told me to come and pick up the 354 Hemi he had willed me. I had an adaptor and flywheel for that, so my LaSalle went in the roadster, but the Olds got replaced with Chrysler power. (Sigh...)
Yep. That's 80s Camaro for a T5. Kinda goofy but they tilted the trans. The transmission mount at the back of the tailhousing is cast at an angle as well. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
